CONDITION OF THE STATE
The above sound sense comes
from the Reno Journal:

The above sound sense comes
from the Reno Journal:
Nevada is not only holding its
own, but shows gradual improve
m ent, and is destined to receive its
proportion of the "boom" which is
rolling along all over the entire Pa
cific Coast. Everywhere the people
Of this State are rejoicing at better
times, and the flattering prospects
of the future. Millions have been
contributed from the mines, but
the mountains and hills yet contain
many millions and the outlook for
q largely increased output is better
than it has been for years. The
old and still favorite Comstock is
again on the eve of important de-
velopments, and the time is near
ut hand for the finding and extrac-
ton of bonanzas. The prospects of
Tuscarora are bright. Some rich
discoveries have lately been made
in White Pine. Lincoln and Nye
counties. Humboldt continues to
produce it's share, and is doing
lively prospecting for more. Eureka,
Austin and down in Esmeralda the
work of production continues salts
actorily. Almost everywhere the
pick and drill are in use, and from
ten millions per annum the yield is
soon likely to increase fifty per
cent. Our cattle and sheep are do
ing we'll on the green grass OF the
hills and this industry is in splen-
did condition. The farmers are
happy and year by year the agrl-
cultural area of the State becomes
greater. 1t will not be very long
before there will be new railroad
work inaugurated and within two
OF three years the people will not
be at the mercy of one road. Ne
vada will grow up with the country.

TIL 4 Hs.S n.R " alton.

The people of this county regard
less of political difference are as one
respecting the uselessness OF retain
ing the Walker River Reservation.
Every candidate who comes here
promises to do something and MOTH
ing is done. While it will be admit
ted that the Indians do not use the
land, that is, the land surround
ing the lake, and while it will also be
admitted that the lake is sparingly
used by them, the idea is allowed
to remain in Washington that it is a
case of Indian persecution This
is simply nonsense. If the South
ern half of the Reservation were
abandoned white men would i'm,
mediately begin TO prospect and
fish and the Piutes could follow
them. The Indians would have
the same privileges that they now
have and encouraged by the pre-
sence of white men from whom
they could beg an occasional meal.
or for whom they could do an occa-
sional chore they would make much
more use Of the territory and get
more benefit from it than at present.
1t is not claimed that the fishing
would add any immense sums to
our revenue or that larger num-
Der of men would make living from
the lake, but there would be an ad :
dition and there would be busi-
ness for white men where there now
is none. OF course the value of the
mountains as treasure vaults is to
be determined, but all experienced
prospectors who have seen the coun-
try are satisfied that many rich
lodges exist, none of which can be
developed while the Indian author
tiles hold their line around the
territory. 1t is certain that were
the country opened there would be
a crowd of prospectors ready to &C
in and learn what Is there.

coNkLING AND SCRIPTURE.
AN Encounter Mt Quotations He Once

An Encounter ut Quotations He Once
Had with Ex-Secretary Robeson.
Recently correspondent of The Sun, call
ing attention to q blunder made by O well
known lawyer in quoting Scripture, signed
himself "C." party of lawyers were specu-
lating as to who &C" was. One of them
said:
"Why, it's Conkling, of course know all
the lawyers in New York, and I'll take an
affidavit that Roscoe Conkling is the only one
OF them all that knows enough Scripture to
quote even the Lords prayer correctly. He
has the Bible ut his fingers ends, or seems to
have, once he gets started quoting it, and he
does that often. In day speech he always
sings i'll score or more of quotations from
the Bible, every one SO apt that it seems i'm
possible that they are impromptu and not
looked up beforehand. But he really does
evolve them on the spot
II saw that proved once during the argu.
ments in the great Dinsmore railroad suits
out at Trenton some three years ago. He and
Mr. Robson were on opposite Sides They
had talked nearly all day. The court room
was crowded and hot, and every one was
weary of the railroad case. Conkling was
talking away, and Robson lay back in big
chair, with his curly gray hair, jolly red
face and gross bulk making him look like
some aged Bacchus resting from his romp.
Conkling was looking his best, and seemed
Jove to Robeson's Bacchus. Suddenly Robe
son, ponderously raising his hand, inter
rupted Conkling with some quotation pleas
antly satirical. He laughed as he did
SO, until his fat form 1uivered like jelly. In
an instant Conkling retorted with a quota
tion that was even more apt than Robesons,
Inn lob,
almost as quickly with another quotation, and
Conkling's parry was as prompt as before.
The other lawyers got interested, the court
smiled, and everybody felt grateful relief
from the strain Of the long days speeches
Conkling and Robson enjoyed it as well as
any one, and for q quarter of an hour rail-
roads and dry figures were dropped, while
great Jove and Bacchus flung quoted Jest at
one another. Robson did well, but Conkling
was marvellous. The Bible and poets and
ssges of all times paid tribute to his demand
for tart repartee. When the duel finally
ended it was Robson who dropped it first.
Zone of Conkling's best hits was when
Robson introduced some allusion to SO COM
monpiace thing as fact, and Conkling with
al iuimitable gesture, pointed to Robson and
exclaimed:
"A primrose by the rivers brim
A yellow primrose was to him,
And it was nothing more.
3What finally squelched Robson was, be-
lieve, something from Pope Conkling, with
o mock reverential bow to Robson, who was
still lying back in his chair, and, shaking with
laughter, exclaimed:

JOHN JAY KNOX. New Orleans and
discovered in the Office of the assistant
treasurer the largest defalcation ever
known in the history of the government.
During the emergency he remained in
New Orleans acting as assistant treasurer.
On retiring from Office he located in New
York city as president of the National
Bank of the Republic. His long expe-
rience in and out of Office gave him the
right to speak with sort of authority on
our finances. Other addresses on the
same subject were by Hon. Beriah Will
kIns, George 5. CUe, the weff knowH
banker, of New York, and FL. M. King
man, of Chicago.
Two subjects attracted unusual atten-
tion this year-the proposed treaties with
Canada and state taxation of national
banks. In the latter some puzzling ques-
tions ar ose. While it is a clear principle
both of national law and of financial prac-
tice that state has no power to tax the
bonds of the United States, it is equally
admitted that when those bonds are de-
posted as the basis of note circulation,
and are thus transformed into bank stock,
the state can tax such stock. And in the
delicate interlock of these two principles
of law, some states have found consti-
bAt1OLkAI WAy W Ady Sd1Ae&eAOAA Oh eAAS AAes
tional banks, while others have thought
it better policy to tax lightly or exempt
the natural result being to drive bank
capital out of the former and draw it into
the latter.
The questions of complete reciprocity
and extradition treaties with Canada are
decidedly novel. 1t is noteworthy fact
that many stanch advocates of protec-
tive tariff are for reciprocity, claiming
that the principles ON which we maintain
o tariff against Europe do not apply to our
near neighbor In the New World, with
political institutions much like our own,
producing much that we want and want
ing much that we produce, yet with very
few industries directly competing with
ours The bankers are much more in
terested in treaty which will enable
them to bring back defaulters and en-
bezzling cashiers. 1t is simply ridiculous
that on one side Of an imaginary line o
thief should be amenable to law and on
the other as free Us the most honest. It
is disgraceful to both countries, and now
that rapid communication is SO well estab-
lished, the flight of s'boodlers" to Canada
has assumed alarming proportions. Not
the least important business Of the con-
yention was report and discussion on the
thirty-one treaties with various foreign
countries for the return Of fugitiyes
charged with crimes against property

oughfare would bring $100, 900, and there
would be numerous bidders at that.
During the autumn of the year 1896
Gen. Cleaveland departed for his home in
Canterbury, never to return again. He
died in 1906, and twenty-four years after
the United States census gave the city he
founded population of 1,075. 1t is alto
gether likely that he never thought, even
in the widest moments of his enthusiasm,
that in the year of our Lord 1887 Cleve-
land would boast of population of 24O,-
900 souls.
For several years the settlers avoided
the lake and river fronts, as the ague was
almost as deadly an enemy to them as the
Indian. Gradually, however, they over
came chills and feyers, and it was not
long before they deserted the highlands
east and south and returned to Cleveland
proper. An early historian, writing of
the people of that period, said: "The
preachers who sometimes visited Cleve-
land bore pretty general testimony to the
general wickedness of the inhabitants,
but it appears to have related more to
matters of opinion and language ttAaff te
more violent offenses. Crime of eyery
kind seems to have been very rare, and
the settlers were nearly all industrious,
honest and enterprising. Probably they
drank good deal of whisky, but that
was common fault in those days. But
the reverend gentlemen accused them of
gross infidelity, of terrific profanity, and,
what was worse, of making practice of
slaughtering their hogs on Sunday"
Gen. Cleaveland left but little behind
him concerning his personal history. He
was 80 when he died, and was, therefore,
40 when he arrived at the mouth of the
Cuyahoga in 1886. The face and head of
the bronze statue about to be unveiled
were made from likeness Of the general
contained on breastpin which is pre-
served at Canterbury. The monument
will be placed in Monumental Park along
with one in honor of Commodore Perry
and another, which will perpetuate the
deeds of Cleveland soldiers in the war of
the rebellion.

BANKERS CONVENTION.

MEMBERS THEREOF.

Speech on the Metropolis of the UNI
salted seas--other Matters.
The annual convention of the American
Bankers association, held at Pittsburg,
Pa, ON the 18th and 18th, was as interest
ing as any held since the dark days of the
war. AS usual the bankers discussed all
the much discussed questions of silver
coinage, paper money, national currency
based on bonds and the possible future OF
the national banks, when, as it must soon
be, ali the bonds shall have been paid.
But the most interesting features probably
were the addresses of John Jay Knox and
Governor Proctor J. Knott-the former
on the general banking system and the
latter on the industrial and banking pro-
gress OF the west and south.

association, will confine himself to obstacle

Thomas B. Hamilton, the half mile runner
Of Princeton college, is the latest addition to

A. Schroeder, of the New York Athletic
club, has great promise in putting the shot.
His delivery is graceful and strong, and with
o little more practice he will be competent to
meet several champions.
A coming man at the 1000 yards run is
Stewart Barr, of the Brooklyn Athletic asso-
citation. He possesses great grit, but lacks
the speed necessary to successfully compete
ON even terms with the champion Of the
game, r. d. Skillman. Time and practice
may work wonders, however, and Barr
hopes.

an EthnoIoglcal Question.

As it requires something more than the ac-
cident OF birth in France TO make French
man, or in Holland to make Dutchman, or
i'm Cork to make an Irishman, SO it requires
something more than the accident of birth
within the geographical boundary OF this
America to make Yankee. A person born
in Patagonia, of Mongolian or Ethiopian pa
rents. is no less an American than person
born in Chicago or Washington of foreign
parents. But neither the one nor the other Is
DIV reason of the accident of birth Yankee.
The names Briton, German, Irish, Yankee,
etc. denote distinct families of men that are
distinguishable from each other, as the chil-
dren Of different parents are. by certain FAM
ily likenesses and uniikenesses which are not
obliterated by mere place Of birth. To OBJ
literate them there must take plnce what Is
called assimilation, and this rarely appears IN
the first generation, and never in the case Of
foreigners OF different race.
Among persons of kindred races, the pro-
cess OF assimilation is more rapid. The or
snring OF Britons in this country are not
easily distinguished from the purest Yankees;
n fact. Britons themselves who migrate III
early life are not, race and language being
the same Chicago Times.
